Please note, this OEL/ADE monograph also applies to hydroxychloroquine sulfate (CAS RN 747-36-4) and hydroxychloroquine diphosphate (CAS RN 6168-85-0). Hydroxychloroquine is an aminoquinoline, similar to chloroquine, and exists as a racemic mixture of the R-enantiomer and S-enantiomer. Hydroxychloroquine is a chemotherapeutic agent indicated for the prophylaxis of malaria where chloroquine resistance is not reported, for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria (caused by Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium ovale, or Plasmodium vivax), for chronic discoid lupus erythematosus, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), acute rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and chronic RA. Hydroxychloroquine was investigated in adults hospitalized with respiratory symptoms from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SAR-CoV-2). Hydroxychloroquine sulfate is also used in similar doses for the treatment of lightsensitive skin eruptions, but treatment should only be given during periods of maximum exposure to light.
